Performance enhancements

Simple sort() using { $a <=> $b } and the like are optimized

Many common sort() operations using a simple inlined block are now optimized for faster performance.

Optimized assignments to lexical variables

Certain operations in the RHS of assignment statements have been optimized to directly set the lexical variable on the LHS, eliminating redundant copying overheads.

Faster subroutine calls

Minor changes in how subroutine calls are handled internally provide marginal improvements in performance.

delete(), each(), values() and hash iteration are faster

The hash values returned by delete(), each(), values() and hashes in a list context are the actual values in the hash, instead of copies. This results in significantly better performance, because it eliminates needless copying in most situations.
